283888 2004-10-23 10:17:00 Just trying to disable Messenger using the FAQ guide but I need to start Outlook to use its tools/options. Trouble is, I deleted the Outlook shortcut as soon as I got this machine and now can't find Outlook at all.
If someone can help me find it I'll start it with the exe file. Thanks for any help...Ken. WinXP.

Alternatively in your Program Files folder under Microsoft Office.
